This is from a fun and educative little board game like strategy game made by Bluebyte Software back in 1995 (or '97, depending on source) called "Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase" ("Die total verrückte Rallye" in german), which I wanted to upload because no videos of it existed on YouTube. I edited together the highlights of a 10 round game of me playing against a single AI opponent. The original length was around 55 minutes. I first got to know Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase in 1996 when its demo came with The Settlers 2 CD, but now the full version is free abandonware.

The objective of the game is to be the richest player at the end of the game. This is best achieved by being the first one to reach each round's destination city, which is randomly chosen from one of Europe's capital cities, and win the prize of approximately $100,000. After the last round there's a final master-rally to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and the prize amount is much bigger. Every player starts the master-rally at the the same distance from Brussels. Money earned is best put to use by purchasing things like farms, factories, tourist attractions and other lucrative businesses. The play area consists of different squares which are explained below.

Blue square = Win random amount of money
Red square = Lose random amount of money
Yellow square = Win random card
Purple square = Buy and sell cards
Grey square = City
Black & white square = Capital city

After the first destination capital has been reached, Dr. Drago comes after the player who was farthest away from the destination, and each round does wacky things that make that player lose money, cards, or even businesses. Dr. Drago can be shaken off using a certain card, or by overtaking an opponent or landing in the same square. When Dr. Drago changes from using a bicycle and rowing boat to a rocket propelled car and airplane, it means that he will be an even greater nuisance to the player he's with. An even worse fate is to have Drago after you when he's piloting a menacing zeppelin.

Recorded with Hyperionics Hypercam 2 and edited with Sony Vegas 7.0. Unfortunately I have no idea what the songs are called, because they're all from the game itself and are not listed in the credits.
